Embarkation Roll: WHI to WIL
The following is an alphabetical roll of all Australians known members of the many military formations which embarked overseas during the South African (Second Boer) War, 1899-1902.
Each man is detailed on this reference list with the following information:
Service Number;
Rank on Embarkation;
First Names;
Family Name;
If applicable, any false name employed; and,
Service unit.
Notes
Note 1: All soldiers’ names are linked to the specific unit and date when embarkation occurred.
Note 2: There are duplications of some names in the following list. The reason for this is that the soldier embarked on more than one occasion. This was the simplest way of resolving the problem of multiple entries for a single individual.
